Is there a German/Austrian starch with better holding power? (Not for girlie men, I mean...) Thanks! Fri Mar 04 19:38:17 -0800 2005 0 Redbone 1 1461772 My Viennese step mom always takes the left over "batter" ingredients from the schnitzel prep and makes pancake things. In same vein, a potato pancake would be nice since you are bringing from your kitchen not from the prep kitchen. We always definately add a cabbage side that is sweet/sour - either cold slaw or warm red cabbage usually. Fri Mar 04 19:53:59 -0800 2005 1461769 0 torty 1 1461774 Sure they will. Just boil them. Bring them to the party and saute them in butter until crunchy and slightly browned. Then serve.

Good with a meat course and Weissbier, etc. Fri Mar 04 21:06:02 -0800 2005 1461769 0 Reece 2 1461780 Only if you have some gravy to go over the dumplings. And if you are serving schnitzel, gravy is a natural side dish. Fri Mar 04 21:12:08 -0800 2005 1461778 0 RichK
